Chinese scientists create frog muscle-powered robot

Chinese scientists have developed a small robot that swims using real frog muscles, without wires or batteries. It operates by stimulating infrared light on solar panels that generate electrical signals, which are then transmitted to nerves on the muscle surface to control movement. The robot can swim at a speed of up to 0.54 times its body length per second and performs precise movements such as turns and circular motions. It remains reliably functional for an entire week while powered by living muscle tissue. This marks the first integration of natural muscles with wireless light stimulation for a robot, with future potential to improve muscle sustainability, develop more flexible control systems, and be used in marine environment monitoring or medical applications such as muscle and tissue regeneration.
